Description

Impressive AU 1879-CC Liberty Eagle

1879-CC $10 AU50 PCGS. With only 1,762 coins minted, this
date has the lowest mintage of any Carson City Mint eagle, indeed,
it is actually the lowest mintage gold coin produced at Carson
City, regardless of denomination. This piece is a pleasing AU
example with deep honey-gold color and considerable remaining
luster on each side. The surfaces have the usual quota of tiny
handling marks that are always seen on these pieces. Typical of
most survivors, the strike is acceptable but not sharp. The present
example misses the Condition Census for the issue, but it is still
far finer than average. For example, the single piece in the
Smithsonian Institution grades just VF25. Population: 8 in 50, 4
finer (11/06).(Registry
values: N7079) (NGC ID# 265N, PCGS# 8684)
